Well... I did have the south of the border direction right. I'm just sayin. ;) Ha!Bastiat..with my impressive urologic hx (now healed)… no doubt a Freudian slip! :)

The Kugel = Dish confusion sleepyjosh has is probably because his grandmother made noodle kugel, a Yiddish/ Eastern European specialty. Kugel means ball in German /Yiddish.

I had what I was 99.8889 percent sure was an ingrown hair on my neck right around where my submandibular lymp nodes were. I went to have my teeth cleaned and the dental assistant (yes I took medical advice from a person that takes a six weeks course at everest college.)Freaked out about it. Saying I HAD to get it checked out. so I made an apointment for a Nurse practioner look at me like an idiot. I hadn't been to the doctor in 8 years, and I came in for THIS? oh well, that'll teach me to take medical advice from other people. Oh, and yes, it was an ingrown hair.

My eyes read it... but brain translated differently..too much urology exposure. :) I saw that clop and heard it was staged. Funny tho. :) Awww.. she just loves her son and got scared.

What ever happened to the simple idea of the parent calling the pediatrician's office (and perhaps having the doctor paged?) On an unrelated note, I found the tidbit about the German translation of "kugel" surprising--as from my childhood--<i>Kugel</i> refers to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potato_kugel" rel="nofollow">a dish</a> (Grandma makes the best kugels!)
